I think Hoodoo surely works! In this song definitely!!

Yeah! You guys knocked it out of the park with this one, outstanding!

Man! Had to go back and listen to the scat again. Awesome!

Funny and scary all at once. It seems you hit the target you were aiming for.  

The lyric of this public domain song was written by Bessie Brown in 1924 (originally titled Hoodoo Blues).  We slightly tweaked a few lines and arranged it as an up tempo blues rock with a different melody.  Ms. Brown's songs are deserving of more attention.  She's a gem.

HOODOO BLUES 

I'm on the war path now, mean and evil’s my vow, 
Some woman stole my man, but I've got me a plan. 

Let me tell ya all bout it

Gonna sprinkle graveyard dust all around her door 
Gonna sprinkle graveyard dust all around her door 
Put a spider in her dumplings, make her crawl all over the floor
 
Goin' 'neath her window, gonna lay a black cat bone 
Goin' 'neath her window, gonna lay a black cat bone 
Burn a candle on her picture, she won't let my good man alone. 


Got myself some gris-gris, tote it up in a sack 
Got myself some gris-gris, tote it up in a sack 
Gonna keep on wearin' it till I get my good man back 

scat verse

I was born down in the bayou, I wear conjure in my shoes 
Born down in the bayou, I wear conjure in my shoes 
Gonna fix that woman, make her sing them hoodoo blues.

Album: Problem & Remedy | Listen & Download - https://dustradio1.bandcamp.com/album/problem-remedy | Lyrics: 
I got no more trouble from you
Done all the bad days I’m gonna do
I got no more trouble from you
Done all the bad days I’m gonna do
And if I never make it back home no more
May the long nights help you through

Tried to keep you by my side
Working my bones all day
That ring slipped from your finger too many times
Till I finally gone and lost my way
I got no more trouble from you
Done all the bad days I’m gonna do
And if I never make it back home no more
May the long nights help you through

Used to think the sun walked beside you
Shows just how little I know
Gave up guessing why people do what they do
A long time ago

I got no more trouble from you
Done all the bad days I’m gonna do
And if I never make it back home no more
May the long nights help you through

“High-octane music delivered with passion – a formidable band” Bernard Doherty (Planet Rock, Blues Power Show) 

Formed during the global pandemic of 2020, Dust Radio are a rootsy, blues-driven duo, comprising of Paddy Wells on Harmonica and Tom Jackson on Guitar.  This band have already attracted the attention from the UK Blues scene. Heavily shaped by the blues masters of the past, their style is steeped in the sound of Southern blues, with traces of Americana and contemporary rock ‘n’ roll.

‘Problem & Remedy’ consistently serves the song with subtle dynamics that leave plenty of space. They let a lyric breath via delicate tones, undulating melodies and enveloping grooves, while reshaping their own brand of noir filled down-home blues and Americana.

And in Paddy Wells they have a harp playing lyricist with the technique and feel to bend his notes and fully realise melodic possibilities.

They have been described as “raw and rootsy blues” and like Moreland & Arbuckle before them, they focus primarily on story telling narratives.  However, unlike the latter they never stray too far from interwoven musical patterns that eschew relentless boogie or heavy riff led bluster.

Their use of eclectic wordplays and phrases, steely riffs and deep grooves operates in the same way a painter might apply different pressures to their brush strokes in creating their art. -

Album:  Language Of Your Soul - https://robinbibiband.co.uk/ Lyrics: 
I’m listening to the sound of the rain 
That lonesome sound against my window pain 
Yeah yeah, like I cried over you 
World keeps turning, 
And I got these Up All Night Vampire Blues 

Can’t sleep In the night 
Got to keep myself out of sight of the light 
Yeah , keeps me from crying about you 
World keeps turning 
I got these Up All Night Vampire Blues 

Been so long , I’m not free 
Your Devil spell’s still got its hooks here in me
Yeah yeah , the nights are so long and blue
World keeps turning 
I got these Up All Night Vampire Blues 

Another Sleepless nights passed by 
I’m so tired of this feeling, I wish I could die 
Oh yeah , I know you got your troubles too 
The world keeps turning 
I got these Up All Night Vampire Blues 
( I’m howling at the moon ! ) 

The Robin Bibi Band was born in the late 90s when Robin was inspired to start his own Texas Style Blues/ Rock band after having worked as a session man with such arists as the Pretty Things, Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, Ben E. King and Helen Shapiro to name but a few.

The Band released their debut Album “Blue Thrash Therapy” in late 1997. Mainly blues standards with a couple of notable original songs thrown in. This album received AirPlay straight away from Paul Jones in his Jazz FM show and the band started to become popular in the live circuit. The follow up, “Language of Your Soul”, a work of mainly original material, was released to more critical acclaim in 2000. Since then – and 8 more albums and a DVD later – the Robin Bibi Band have established themselves as one of the UK’s hardest working and most popular bands in their genre and Robin had been widely recognised as one of the UK’s finest Blues / Rock guitarists!

The band have played all the major UK blues festivals and have toured in Europe, Ireland, Scandinavia and the USA! Robin is at present signed to Ashwood Records and has recently released what’s considered to be his best album yet “No More A Secret”, the first album of exclusively Robin Bibi originals. This album received rave reviews and extensive AirPlay including considerable airings on BBC Radio 2. It peaked at number 2 in the IBBA playlist.

Robin has been nominated by the British Blues awards in several categories and won an award for best Guitar Solo from the WRC! The band continue their never ending mission to spread their own personal brand of music and to entertain and lift the spirits of their audiences ..
